1.get all my grading finished;
2.go to bed early;
3.get up at the usual school time; and
4.continue with the usual school morning ritual, that

I am far more likely to have a snow day.
Staying up late without grading/getting ready insures the gods of snowdays will frown down and most likely decide that we can all make the drive clutching the steering wheels with white knuckled grips as we watch the person in front of us slide into the dtich…

As a middle-school teacher (one who has been out of school two days now for snow, and currently on hour 46 of wearing my bathrobe…I need a shower!) I wish I had know your tricks a little earlier in the school year. But the newness of my long weekend has worn off, and the stir-craziness has set in. I am writing lesson plans and perusing the internet for educational blogs (yeah…that’s stir crazy!) And did I mention I need a shower?

I never did these things, which may be why I have not had a snow day in several years. Had a little over a week one winter in NC.
There is talk of a storm tonight, but the more they talk about it, the lighter the storm.
Can I borrow some ice cubes?

LOVE this! I agree with most of them except you missed one!
Put a bowl of ice (cubes of course) in the middle of your kitchen
NOT living room, bedroom, or den….and do the Snow Dance around it.
(it’s interpretive – modern – with a little pagan added in for fun)
Thanks for a great post!

So, you are saying that if I follow your steps I’ll get a snow day? Really? Dude! I’m totally going to try this…if it doesn’t work, I guess you’ll fly out snow for me? Thanks from Tammy in Tucson, AZ (I did really pray for a snow day, but then laughed at the idea)…. Fun read any way

It’s worked for us four days in a row (although we’ve rarely had success with our snow voo doo in May). I have to admit that since their mommy and daddy are BOTH teachers, our children are in the BACK of the conga line as we do the additional step of dancing around chanting, “Snow Day! Snow Day! Bring on the Snow Day!” (capitalized as it should be). This is one mom who loves snow days.

Does this seriously work! That sounds sooo cool I AM GOING TO TRY IT,
so i have to put on inside out pjs,
Blrush my teeth with my left hand,
flush 6 ice CUBES down the loo,
and lick a spoon then sleep with it under my pillow. This should work in London in December, right? I hope so i love snow!

IT WORKS!! In the fifth grade, there was an email going on. It passed to forth grade, too. The school had a snow day for three days!! here’s the email.

sorry for mispelling… they spell that way. So, we had a long snow day… I do these steps once in a while, too!

I TRIED THIS AND I GOT A WEEK OF SNOW ALSO TO ADD ON TO THE LIST TRY PUTTING DEODERANT ON THE BOTTOM OF YOU LEFT FOOT ALONG WITH THE LIGHTLY COLORED SOCK AND PUT WHITEOUT ON THE BACK OF UR RIGHT EAR I DID THAT AND THE NEXT MORNING DOWN CAME A TON OF SNOW.TRY IT!

So far it has snowed a foot, I’m wearing my footie pajamas inside out, I brushed my teeth with my left hand, and still need to do the rest. We haven’t had a snow day all year. I’ll post tomorrow if it worked! Thanks!

Me and my little bro didnt do anything with our p.j.s we each flushed 2 ice cubes down the toilet left a spoon under our beds and wore white socks to bed. But ill try this way anyway cuz i really want a snow day! :3

This works I did the spoon,pajamas,and ice cube things and it snowed 2 weeks later.Got 3 and half days out of school.May take time to work though.Thought it wasent going to work till I watched the weather and heard snow.

My way is a bit different: Penny on the windowsill, PJs inside out and backwards, any number of ice cubes flushed, spoon under the pillow, and sleep with the pillow on the opposite side of your bed. I’m going to try some of yours, too!

Don’t want a snow day, no way,
Don’t want a cold day, what’s that you say?
A day off, no students, no hitting the road,
Means extra days tacked on when it’s warm, not cold!
Let’s get through the school year, I have plans for the summer!
A bunch of snow or cold days will ruin my plans, what a bummer!

I, THE GOD OF SNOW will make a snow day in all of america tomorrow. I look around the country and find that all kids have gotten their homework done. This makes me happy and I will make 8 feet of snow fall from the skies.

I hope this works for me!!! I also heard that you have to put a pencil in the freezer. The ice cubes supposedly are sent to the snow gods and the ice cubes tell them who wants a snow day. YES SNOW DAY YAS PRAY FOR ME GUYS!!!
